Grease Trap is a legendary pistol in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan. It is exclusive to Revenge of the Cartels and is only obtainable from Joey Ultraviolet, Roaster, and The Tenderizer.

Special Weapon Effects

EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE! – Always incendiary. No charge time. Increased damage, damage over time and charge rate. Greatly increased splash damage radius.

Normal mode (Fire Starter) fires standard incendiary projectiles.

Alternate fire (Hot Grease) fires a burst of low arcing spread projectiles. Hot Grease projectile count is random (3-7) and fires in a static pattern similar to the Flama Diddle. Hitting an enemy will grease them; when greased, Fire Starter mode will deal increased damage and will release a small incendiary nova around the victim.

Usage & Description

The Grease Trap is a powerful gun that is limited by its magazine size and fixed elemental type. Its rapid fire-rate and small magazine size will necessitate frequent reloads, but this is offset by its incredible damage, which can be so potent that it even deals respectable damage to armored enemies, though it still suffers against shields.

The shape of the Grease Trap's "Hot Grease" mode (with 7 projectiles).

Against flesh it vaporizes its targets in seconds, and given its increased splash range, it is an exceptional crowd control weapon. Alternate fire covers a much shorter distance and should be used like a shotgun, though its main purpose is to increase the effectiveness of the main firing mode.

Notes

• The Grease Trap uses the same skin as the Superball.
• Because the Grease Trap is only obtainable from the Revenge of the Cartels event, it was initially impossible to get a variant higher than level 57 without editing the save file. It also cannot have terror anointments without save file editing.
  • An update on June 24, 2021 made the seasonal events a permanent option, allowing the Grease Trap to be obtained at any level.
• The nova from igniting a Greased target can inflict friendly fire on teammates, much like an incendiary barrel in the environment.
• If Zane has Double Barrel, his Digi-Clone will always fire the standard incendiary projectiles, allowing the player to stay on its alternative fire mode and accrue massive amounts of damage without switching modes.
